Photos!

Just a few pictures of Niagara Falls, which was incredible! There are actually 3 falls, the American Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls and the Horseshoe falls. Due to erosion by the flowing water, the Horseshoe falls have moved 7 miles in 12, 500 years. The rate of erosion has been decreased in recent years to about 1 foot per year because the hydroelectric plant now diverts some of the water.

Travels

It's been a while since my last blog post due to the lack of internet access. Unfortunately I can't post any photos at the moment because the internet connection is very slow here, however I'll be sure to post some when I find a better connection.

After finishing my exams at UMass and saying some sad goodbyes, I left to go to New York City. From there I visited Niagara Falls, Toronto and the Thousand Islands. I then spent almost a week in New York City and then flew to Orlando to start a camping tour of Florida. I'm currently in Key West, the Southern tip of Florida. Next week I'm spending a few days in Miami and then flying to San Francisco. I'm then going to Las Vegas and doing an another camping tour through the Grand Canyon and the national parks in that area. I'll try to keep the blog up to date whenever I have internet!

Hiking Mt Holyoke

Yesterday I went hiking up Mt Holyoke which is about 20 minutes from UMass. It was a fairly easy hike to the summit where we had a view of the surrounding towns, including the UMass campus.
